Dragami Video games firm president Yoshimi Yasuda has introduced that the sport design for the upcoming Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP remake has been modified from a remake to a remaster, “primarily based in your requests.” Extra particulars weren’t revealed. The sport was not too long ago delayed to summer time 2024. Lollipop Chainsaw first launched on June 12, 2012 for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. In keeping with Yasuda “regardless that the unique workers are engaged on the [remaster], there will likely be components which can be completely different from the unique.”
Particulars of the upcoming remake from the unique announcement through producer Yoshimi Yasuda:
14 years have handed since I began the Lollipop Chainsaw venture.
Lollipop Chainsaw was born on account of Suda 51 discussing creating a brand new recreation with me. I noticed nice potential in Grasshopper Manufacture‘s proposal, and only one month after Kadokawa Video games was based April 2009, we began the event venture on Lollipop Chainsaw, in Could 2009.
As Suda-san was very busy dealing with improvement on different initiatives on the time, I served as director and producer, making a joint improvement crew consisting of workers from Grasshopper Manufacture and Kadokawa Video games, overseeing improvement straight. Suda-san regarded over the sport design and supervised the venture as an govt producer.
In January 2010, the help of a buddy of mine working at Warner Bros. led to us efficiently greedy an opportunity with the Warner Bros. greenlight committee, and Warner Bros. thus changing into the writer for the sport in all areas exterior of Asia. Moreover, a Warner Bros. senior supervisor prompt that we’ve got the sport’s script rewritten, and that we go away it to movie director James Gunn, which we gladly agreed to.
All of this success resulted in Lollipop Chainsaw, which launched in June 2012, being liked by many gamers everywhere in the world, promoting over one million items worldwide.
Sadly, numerous components resulted in issues making it in order that followers can now not simply play Lollipop Chainsaw, and it has been a while since gamers haven’t been in a position to entry the sport on present consoles.
We, the unique improvement workers on Lollipop Chainsaw, consider the sport as very treasured to us, and didn’t need to go away it in limbo, the place gamers who need to play it can not. As such, we bought the Lollipop Chainsaw mental property from Kadokawa Video games, and determined to develop a remake. We’ve got already contacted Warner Bros. about improvement, and are being supported by them on this endeavor.
One factor that we’ve got to inform followers of the unique recreation is that regardless that the unique workers are engaged on the remake, there will likely be components which can be completely different from the unique. As an illustration, the unique recreation had 15 licensed songs used within the soundtrack, however it’s sadly troublesome for us to implement all of them this time. Because of this, except for a couple of licensed tracks, the soundtrack will consist of recent music. Moreover, since we’ve got entry to consoles with greater specs, we will likely be taking a extra reasonable method to the graphics this time.
In any case, our purpose is to make it simpler for players who need to play Lollipop Chainsaw to take action. Please sit up for the sport’s 2023 launch.
Sincerely,
Lollipop Chainsaw Producer
